Frequently asked questions

What is moderate action in a rod?

Moderate action describes a semi-parabolic bend. Under load, the rod flexes evenly from roughly the middle downwards.

Which lures work best with moderate action rods?

They are ideal for strongly vibrating lures such as deep-diving crankbaits, chatterbaits, spoons and small metal lures.

Why use a moderate action rod for crankbaits?

The softer material lets the fish take the lure far more easily, and the strong vibrations are absorbed comfortably, reducing strain on the wrist.

Is a moderate action rod suitable for jigging?

No - for jigging with soft lures on a jig head, a moderate action rod is too soft, as bottom contact feels vague and the strike rarely transmits cleanly at distance.

Which fish suit moderate action particularly well?

It works exceptionally well for perch, trout and other species with a delicate mouth or a tendency for fast, powerful runs.
